4th International Action – Call to Action

In 2015, we, the activists of the World March of Women, from every continent on the planet, will raise our voices between March 8 and October 17, to declare, loud and strong: “We will be on the march until women are all free!” We will be on the march until all women are free from the oppression engendered by the capitalist, colonialist, patriarchal system. Free from efforts to grab our land, our seeds and our natural resources. Free from the criminalization of our social struggles. Free from the violence that is on the rise due to increased armed conflicts and unconventional warfare conducted by fundamentalist groups, private armies, mafias and organized crime.

We
will be on the march until we are all free from the financial markets
and multinational corporations that speculate on natural resources,
attack our hard-won rights and social gains, and force the State to
privatize common goods and public services (like education,
healthcare, welfare services and so on).

We
will be on the march:

Until
gender-based, patriarchal violence is eliminated from our lives.

Until
there is an end to the exploitation, appropriation and
commodification of women’s bodies and women’s work.

Until
a stop is put to the negation of women’s humanity and
subjectivity,
and until the exploitation of our productive and reproductive work,
which are both rendered invisible and devalued, has been eliminated.

We
will be on the march until we are all free from all forms of violence
of which women are the first victims, but also the first survivors,
and the first to defend the rights and the dignity of women and
peoples.

We
are millions of women struggling all around the world. In addition to
caring for our families and our communities, and in addition to
performing the majority of the world’s reproductive work, we will
be on the march, building proposals and alternatives based on the
autonomy of women and on the self-determination of the peoples. We
are constructing solidarity networks between us, to promote equality
between women, between women and men, and between peoples.

We
are building a feminist, solidarity-based economy by changing
reproduction and production models, and distribution and consumption
models, by developing emancipatory policies based on food sovereignty
and popular sovereignty. We recognize domestic and care work as
fundamental to the sustainability of life, and as something that must
be shared with the men in our families and communities.

We
reaffirm that women’s self-organization is our strategy for
reinforcing ourselves as political subjects, that we are building a
global force in alliance with social movements that share our
anti-capitalist, anti-patriarchal and anti-colonialist struggle for a
society founded on the principles of solidarity, freedom, equality,
justice and peace.

Let
us rally around the actions of the World March of Women, until we are
all free!
